Repeated Oracles purchases set you too far back to be a viable option for shutting down Teemo/stealthers imo.

Hextech Sweeper is where its at.
Not only does the active screw in-combat stealth and the passive has "**** you Teemo" written all over it, but there is literally not a single wasted stat on that item if you are playing a mage.
It's truly a great AP item.

Another reason is the brush. I've won and lost many games based on how the brush was used, from ambushing a player / team to poking from the fog of war. Wards would completely invalidate the brush, which is not a good thing.

That, and gold is easy to get. Oracles are not all that expensive, when you think about it.
